Several seconds later, after Brother Feng caught his breath, he raised his finger and pointed toward the toilet weakly. “Mirror…”

The word, which could not have been more common, caused Chen Ge’s expression to shift. After placing Brother Feng on the bed, he walked into the toilet. The mirror on the wall had been shattered, and the glass pieces littered the floor.

Earlier, after He San’s fainting incident, Chen Ge had used black cloth to cover up all the mirrors in the Haunted House. There had been no accident since then, and with the unlocking of a new scenario, he should have been more alert, but he had not been. He was partly responsible for this accident.

For any entertainment establishment, once it was labelled with the rumor of being a safety hazard, business would definitely be difficult, and Chen Ge was acutely aware of that scary fact. He picked up one of the pieces of the floor, and looking at his reflection inside it, he promised, “I need to deal with this thing as soon as possible!”

Like human beings, ghosts also had the separation of good and evil. The monster in the mirror was definitely evil; Chen Ge was sure of that. It was naturally aggressive and was probably hiding some horrible secret. He San’s fainting spell and Brother Feng’s incident raised the alarm within Chen Ge, making him feel pressured.

Covering the mirrors with black cloth was not a permanent solution. The thing inside the mirror was fast becoming a blockage for the Haunted House’s expansion. Other than the broken mirror, there was nothing else out of place inside the toilet. Chen Ge took a cursory look of the room before leaving.

With the hammer in his grip, he sat down beside Brother Feng. “Do you mind telling what happened earlier?”

After a few minutes of rest, Brother Feng’s breathing finally stabilized; however, his face was still startlingly pale. “I don’t think I’ll be to explain it.”

“No worries, just tell me whatever you remember.” Chen Ge studied Brother Feng quietly. This young man was different from He San, who fainted directly; his mental tolerance was obviously higher than He San’s, an observation supported by the fact that at least he showed resistance.

Brother Feng tried to sit up in bed, the fear still circling in his eyes. “At the time, I was chased by one of your workers, so I ran into this room to hide. Initially, everything was fine, but later, I started to hear someone calling my name.”

“Someone was calling your actual name?”

“It’s not that; it’s more like I felt like I was being summoned.” Brother Feng scratched his head. “The source of the sound was inside this room, and it took me a long time before I was able to find the source.”

At this point, the fear in his eyes deepened. “The voice came from the mirror inside the toilet. It was saying something, but I couldn’t really understand it. All I know is it had something to do with me.”

“And then?” Chen Ge memorized every word that came out of Brother Feng’s lips; this would be valuable information when he dealt with the mirror monster.

“And then I stood in front of the mirror, trying to understand what was really happening. I tried to remove the mirror from the wall, but when my hands touched it, the voice beside my ears suddenly picked up. My consciousness started to waver, and for some reason, the reflection of myself in the mirror started to shift.” Brother Feng’s eyes kept glancing at the toilet, afraid that some monster might jump out of it at any moment. “I stood in front of the mirror, but the reflection in the mirror wasn’t me. Normally, I would be afraid, but what happened next still sends shivers down my spine when I think of it.”
